Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

If Ever a Love There Was

I saw your face as I hurried past the cafe

And the rain felt like long lost tears

As it trickled down the window pane

And in a moment

All the years were simply washed away

'Cause when our eyes met, when our eyes met

There was nothing left to say

I caught my breath, I fell out of touch with time

'Cause it was you

With a part of me I'd forgotten that I ever knew

I stood to greet you and you held me

Just a little bit too long

Oh, but we've come so far, we've come so far

But the feeling's still so strong

If ever a love there was

If ever two stars were crossed

If ever a dream was lost

Then it was yours and mine

If ever a touch was right

Or a future looked bright

If ever a love there was

That same perfume

Carries such a lot of memories of a time

When we dreamed sweet dreams

Never knowing they'd be left behind

Love is a memory, like a picture

And it never seems to fade

Oh, and I still believe, and I still believe

All the promises we made

If ever a love there was

If ever two stars were crossed

If ever a dream was lost

Then it was yours and mine

If ever a touch was right

Or a future looked bright

If ever a love there was

And I still believe, I still believe

All the promises we made

If ever a love there was

If ever two stars were crossed

If ever a dream was lost

Then it was yours and mine

If ever a touch was right

Or a future looked bright

If ever a love there was

It was yours and mine

That was the the time
